Radical Sikh Leader Amritpal Singh Mehron Arrested for Influencer's Murder

Punjab Police arrested the alleged mastermind after UAE authorities deported him, while two associates were already in custody in the influencer’s killing case.

  • On Friday, April 10, 2026, Punjab Police arrested Amritpal Singh Mehron at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi following his deportation from the United Arab Emirates in the murder case of social media influencer Kanchan Kumari.
  • Kumari, known online as 'Kamal Kaur Bhabhi,' was found dead in a vehicle in Bathinda in June 2025. Accomplices Jaspreet Singh and Nimratjit Singh claimed they murdered the influencer due to her alleged 'immoral and vulgar content.'
  • After the crime, Mehron fled to the UAE to evade legal proceedings. Sharjah Police detained him in January 2026 during a visa inquiry, initiating the extradition process that concluded with his return to India.
  • Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav credited the Overseas Fugitive Tracking and Extradition Cell for the breakthrough. The arrest sparked regional debate about vigilante violence and the safety of women influencers in Punjab.
  • Investigations into the case continue as authorities build their prosecution strategy against Mehron and his accomplices. This apprehension demonstrates Punjab Police's commitment to tracking fugitives abroad and addressing law-and-order concerns.
